When I get to meet the Good Lord I'm going to ask God if he can just bring us back to this era and never let it change. 70's - 90's. Man what a time to be alive and enjoying life. Everyone playing outside until the street lights came on. The TV set at 10 (I believe) asking do you know where your children are? Families going to the lake and picnicking all day. Feeling nostalgic but it's all good. Music like this, takes us there.

I have said this countless times. We, as a society are supposed embrace/love change. Bull cookies (for me). The world we live in today bears no resembalence to the world I grew up in. Technology alone drives me nuts. There are things you have to pay for that did not exist 50 years ago. Internet, cell phone, identity protection, cable (if still so wired), etc., etc. Human interaction has almost become a lost art form. God has been driven out of society completely, and we are paying the price.

Wish I understood why hearing this great, nostalgia-evoking gem only inspires folks to obsess about a scarf.

[@BarbaraS-o4z]

Remember this gem from the 70’s when I was in High School. ❤❤❤ He had such a nice voice!! Miss that time in a lot of ways compared to now! No cell phones that everyone stares at all day! 🙄

[@ranchump]

What an arrangement!! The bongos, horns, electric piano, vibraphone, strings, guitar- Jesus. A whole orchestra in perfect unison

[@andregadellaa]

Chris had such a unique voice, deep, a little rasp, toneful, perfect to wake up to with a coffee on the weekend.

[@coelewis7944]

Literally EVERYTHING is perfect about this song. The one and only Chris Rea making it pure magic....wow

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Notice that he is not using the strident saxophone, which would have ruined this song.

[@foobarmaximus3506]

Except how he mangled the lyrics, but yeah...

[@TheLily1001]

@@foobarmaximus3506 Sometimes there's a time limit on how much of a song the singer can sing. Other than that, he can sing HIS song any way he likes, it would at anytime, and does here, sound wonderful.

[@anstevens5285]

I totally agree!

I played this CD until it wore out . I need a new one.

[@cindyperry9347]

This is my absolute favorite song of his, I listen to it every night while trying to go to sleep, sometimes I listen to it three times in a row I've never heard a voice like Chris Rea's , so soothing to listen to.

[@yvonneterwilliger9123]

Me too..I play it over and over again

[@danielmartin6771]

Yes it's a classic meaningful soothing melody

[@sandiland0000]

love that!

[@AnthonyVillalva-d6p]

Beautiful song

[@Seversonronald8]

I understand that he wrote this song for his younger sister after she had her heartbroken by someone.

[@danielconforti773]

Newborn eyes always cry with pain. Quite a line.

[@thestud521]

That one always strikes me!!

[@janiceomeara9747]

The reason why this song is such a classic because it is a Man, lyrics, a piano, and pure emotion. I love his scarf and how he looks into the camera as he sings. He tells a story about losing a love at a young age. We have all endured that. True magic.

[@billhill4929]

This song is about his sister who is dumped at 17

[@user-pn9db8sm5w]

What a nice brother.

Met Chris at a party one time. It was early in his career. I recognized him and he was very appreciative.

[@HomeisJax]

I loved this song growing up and when my daughter was a teen and thought life was over after some tragic breakup or hangnail~I’d play this for her to soothe her broken heart! I loved it when I was but a child and loved being able to share its wisdom with my oldest!🫡♥️🎶 Good on ya for this few mins of brilliantly put, beautifully sung wisdom!🙋🏻‍♀️

[@timirvine8974]

This song just sounds better and better as the years go by, I never get tired of it. Such a Classic!
